Mine has done that a few times. Then the sorrunding backlights blink. I just shut off the car and start it back up a minute later and all is well. But it is a concern if it happens more often then the 3-4 times since august when I bought it

They have an issue with the face plate connection. Sometimes cold/hot weather effects it and sometimes you can press on all for corners and it starts working fine.

Thanks Charlie for the tip...I am going to see what happens, Mine so far was a one time Deal....REd G8 has this problem DAILY, sumtimes on..most time off
I was thinking it was some kinda short but a connector makes sense too but I would hope that have some kinda fix for it..I dont wanna attempt to pull the unit out myself..

It is covered under warranty Joe and it is a known problem to the dealers.
